New features include the ability to resume game progress from checkpoints instead of starting over at the beginning of a chapter, the ability to revisit previously completed chapters, and a fairy familiar that will revive players when they perish during campaign mode. The update is free of charge, and we've got the full details below.

Cthulhu Magicka Wgah'nagl Fhtagn!

Paradox Interactive and Arrowhead Studios have announced that Magicka will soon be receiving its biggest and creepiest content pack to date. The Stars Are Left will pit up the four wizards against a horror-mystery adventure campaign inspired by the popular Cthulhu Mythos; featuring several terrifying new enemies, bosses awakened from the depths of insanity, and several other miscellaneous Miskatonic minions. And there'll also be a MineCraft parody.

The Stars Are Left is scheduled for a "winter" launch, and we have more details and a trailer after the break.
